[NIOSH] Heat-related Changes in Cognitive Performance

OMB 0920-1331 · HHS/CDC.

OMB 0920-1331

The purpose of this study is to collect information on burden of heat strain among miners as well as factors related to personal risk and core body temperature that contribute to individual variability in heat tolerance and to declines in heat-related worker performance. The goal of the study is to assess the following: (1) whether a core body temperature threshold exists at which cognitive performance beings to decline, (2) factors that contribute to inter- and intra- individual variability in cognitive physiologic responses to heat, and (2) patterns of heat strain among miners in both surface and underground mines. The intended use for this data is to develop guidance and strategies to mitigate risk of heat strain among miners. This guidance will build on the strategies currently used by mining but will include information on how to incorporate personal factors and physiologic measurements into current heat strain monitoring and prevention practices.
